Default finally joined the FI crowd

I finally got enough time to install my Maggie and now I cant even drive the truck without a ear to ear grin. Bad news I am already looking at smaller pulleys. Thanks to you guys that gave me the know how by posting on this board but one in particular I want to thank is Preston. He documented every step of his build and I think I looked at it more the the instructions from Magnacharger.

I mention anything for the truck and my wife looks at me and points to the floors in the house. Apparently I have to replace the flooring then I have the OK to go nuts with the truck. LOL

its the standard 3.4 pulley for now. I know the feeling with the wife but since we are seperated she dont have any room to gripe. It is an awesome thing though the truck just begs to go fast. I still havent went WOT from a stand still but I got on it a lil much comming around a corner and it threw the backend out pretty good. I'm taking it easy for a few days till I know the torque specs will hold and no leaks and such.

I really like the hood you have (from what I can see in your pic). Have any other pictures posted up? What brand is it?

+1 on taking it easy. Hate to hear how you side swiped a guard rail cause you got throttle happy on a corner (friend did this with a frame up restoration on his 69 Chevelle, 2nd day he had it out)

Any dyno figures on this install. I am looking to get an idea as to what power it put down with the maggie kit as I went with the whipple.

no sorry wont be on a dyno anytime soon. I dont have the $$$ for a driveshaft and I have heard too many horror stories about NNBS driveshafts. The hood is made by reflexion and I like it even though most dont. I does kinda resemble stairs from the side.
